I truly enjoyed my stay, particularly for the amazing beach access and the cleanliness of the rooms. The staff was incredibly accommodating and made our experience even better. I did find the pool area a bit small, but it was still lovely. My only disappointment came from the lack of a microwave in the room, which would have been more convenient during our stay.

The hotel offers a charming atmosphere with a relaxing beach vibe and enjoyable amenities, but the customer service left much to be desired. While the rooms provide decent value, the lack of attention and minor inconveniences detracted from the overall experience. The complimentary bike rentals were a nice touch to explore the area, and the pool area was inviting for a laid-back afternoon. However, it's clear that improvements in service and room arrangements are needed for a more satisfactory stay.
